      WOMAN TAKES OWN LIFE, DESPONDENT OVER ILL HEALTH

      Mrs. Carrie Hinshaw, of North Eighteenth, Drowns Self in Cistern at Lynn, Indiana

      Funeral Services Here

      Had Appeared to be in Better Spirits, And Was Preparing to Return to Home Here

      Mrs. Carrie Hinshaw of 324 North Eighteenth Street, following months of despondency because of her long sickness, ended her life last night or this morning early, by drowning herself in a cistern at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harry Bowen, at Lynn, Ind. The body was discovered in the cistern this morning after Mrs. Hinshaw was missed from her room.
      The deceased is survived by her mother, Mrs. May Muzzy, of 324 North Eighteenth; four sons, William residing east of the city; Robert, of Dayton, Ohio; Carl and Lynn, both employees of the Daily Times, and who reside at home; two sisters, Mrs. Hester Bowen of Lynn and Mrs. H. H. Locker of this city, and one brother, Claude Muzzy. The husband died about 10 years ago.
      Mrs. Hinshaw has been practically an Invalid for many months and has made her home, since her illness, among her children.
      Planned to Come Home
      She had apparently been much improved recently and was planning to come to her home here. She had made all arrangements to have the home redecorated and prepared for her return.
      Her act was not expected, because she had been less despondent of recent weeks and seemed to be in better health.
      It is believed that during the night, while brooding of her illness, she arose and went to the rear of the home, where, removing the cover from the cistern, she lowered herself into the cool water to drown.
      Funeral Monday
      When she did not appear from her room at the usual hour an investigation was made by the daughter and the act was then learned of.
      Funeral arrangements were not made, pending the arrival of the son from Dayton, but it was stated that the body would likely be brought to the home here, Sunday, and that the services would be hold from the home sometime, Monday.
